Building Rules
- Do not build too close to another settlement. This is to prevent lag from areas having multiple settlements loaded at one time.
A good measure of this is if no other settlements are within render, you may build there. If you want to build in a place that's close to another settlement, please open a ticket. If the other settlement residents are okay with it, permission can be arranged for the placement of your settlement. - Do not pick up walls/doors/building pieces to get around any admin locks.
- Don't pickup any walls/doors/building pieces to escape a PvP situation. Except for furniture that you emote moving to barricade a door, do not change a room's layout during a PvP situation.
